This is a long shot, but does anyone know where I can get an MP3 of "Metric Man" by the Kirby Grips? I have the album (two copies, actually), but the CD is in some weird ancient format that won't read properly on iTunes, which means that I can't stick it in my iPod and listen to it over and over all the time. I found an MP3 of "Mod Boy," the other song I wanted to download from the album, but "Metric Man" continues to elude me. Alternately, does anyone know any tricks for getting recalcitrant CDs to play on the computer?

Yes, these are tracks for my personal Smithson playlist. Shut up, I'm awesome.

Also, in manga news, Naoki Urasawa's Pluto is amazing. It's the Watchmen of Astro Boy, and it blows my mind. Everybody buy Monster and 20th Century Boys from Viz so we'll have incentive to acquire more Urasawa manga.
